Ingredients
Scale
Almond Flour Keto Pie Crust
- ¾ cup finely ground almond flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons keto-approved sweetener (such as Swerve)
- 3 tablespoons butter (softened or melted)
Keto Mini Pumpkin Pie Filling
- ¾ cup organic pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ⅓ cup powdered sweetener (Swerve Confectioners)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream (can substitute canned coconut milk or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 2 oz cream cheese
Sugar Free Keto Whipped Cream
- ½ cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with silicone baking cups or spray with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the mini pies.
- Make the crust mixture: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, salt, keto sweetener, and softened butter. Stir thoroughly until mixture resembles wet sand and is well incorporated.
- Form and bake crusts: Press about one tablespoon of the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of each muffin cup. Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool.
- Prepare the pumpkin filling: While the crusts bake, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and powdered sweetener in a high-powered blender or stand mixer. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Add cream and cream cheese: Add heavy whipping cream and cream cheese to the blender bowl and blend again until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
- Fill crusts and bake: Pour the pumpkin filling evenly into each cooled crust, filling nearly to the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the filling is set but slightly wobbly in the center.
- Chill the pies: Remove from the oven and chill the pies for at least one hour before serving to allow them to fully set and develop flavor.
- Make the keto whipped cream: In a large bowl, combine heavy cream and powdered sweetener. Whip with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Serve: Top each mini pie with a dollop of keto whipped cream. Serve immediately or store chilled for later enjoyment.
Notes
- You can use either canned pumpkin puree (ensure it has no added sugar) or homemade pumpkin puree for the filling.
- Dairy-free substitutes like canned coconut milk or coconut cream can be used for heavy cream and whipped cream.
- If preferred, you can omit the crust entirely and bake just the filling for a crustless mini pumpkin pie.
- Store mini pumpkin pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- To thaw frozen pies, leave overnight in the fridge or microwave briefly. Re-whip cream if serving with whipped topping.
- Use silicone muffin liners to make removal easier and cleanup simpler.
- The keto-friendly sweeteners recommended include erythritol (Swerve), allulose, monk fruit sweetener, or stevia.
- You can make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp ginger, ¼ tsp allspice, and ¼ tsp nutmeg.
